Vinyl acetate is used in the preparation of polyvinyl acetate emulsions and polyvinyl alcohol. It acts as a precursor to polyvinyl acetate. It serves as an ingredient in furniture-glue. It is also used to prepare copolymers with other monomers such as ethylene, acrylic acid. Further, it is used to make adhesives, paints and plastics.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
